Una settimana terribile segnata da pogrom, terrorismo di stato, omicidi e distruzione da parte di Israele e i coloni Nazisti israeliani in Cisgiordania occupata.
Mentre i media occidentali ignorano la pulizia etnica in corso in Palestina e l’Unione Europea rifiuta di sospendere gli accordi di associazione con lo Stato genocida israeliano per vietare il commercio con gli insediamenti israeliani illegali, con Germania e Italia che si nascondono dietro il requisito dell’unanimità, che tuttavia non è necessario.
Il governo Meloni è complice del governo criminale israeliano che sta commettendo un #GENOCIDIO COLONIALE contro i palestinesi cristiani in terra santa.

Germany is experiencing a national psychosis. It is a truly sick country: setting brutal police on those who oppose genocide, including Jews; running a show trial of those who take peaceful direct action to try & stop genocide; & growing levels of racism & Isalmophobia reminiscent of the white supremacy that underpinned Nazism. Germany has learnt nothing from its genocidal history. Never Again is for all humanity!

Israeli forces detained at least 70 Palestinians in raids across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, while eight others were injured in a separate attack by occupiers, according to Palestinian media and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, Anadolu reports.

The official Voice of Palestine radio said Israeli forces arrested more than 40 young Palestinian men in an ongoing raid on the town of Tell, west of Nablus in the northern part of the occupied territory.

Israeli troops seized a house in the town and converted it into a field interrogation center, the broadcaster said.

It added that Israeli forces were carrying out extensive raids on homes across the town while surrounding it from all directions.

On Friday, Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered a “wide-scale military operation” in Palestinian villages across the West Bank following an attack near the illegal Havat Gilad settlement that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others.

According to sources and witnesses, Israeli occupiers later attacked several Palestinian communities in the Nablus governorate, setting fire to Palestinian homes and other property.

Four Palestinians were killed on Friday in an attack by Israeli occupiers and Israeli forces on the town of Tell, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

Meanwhile, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli forces launched widespread raids before dawn in the city of Jenin and several towns and villages across the governorate.

Troops also searched a number of homes and detained five Palestinians, while military operations continued in several parts of the governorate, according to local sources cited by the agency. Separately, Israeli forces detained three Palestinians in the Bethlehem governorate.

After having committed the crime of self defense, and been summarily executed for it, 50 more Palestinians were kidnapped & taken hostage for having committed the crime of living in the same town as someone who committed the crime of self defense.

They Said...

If a settler comes to your land, carrying his rifle more heavily than his humanity,

do not raise your voice.
Do not raise your hands.
Do not defend the home where you first learned your own name.

Let him uproot the olive tree.
Let him break down the door.
Let him carve his name into your walls.

Then, if you must weep, weep softly, lest you be accused of disturbing the world's peace.

And if you die,
die quietly, so the evening news can keep its tidy headlines.

For in this age,
the victim is not expected to survive.
Only to master the art of dying without troubling anyone's conscience.

@DropSiteNews What a beautiful soul. May she rest in peace.

[Andrey X @the_andrey_x]

This is Sheikh Farouk Ramadan.

Yesterday afternoon, he and his family were attacked by settler-terrorists on their own land. Farouk managed to disarm one of the attackers. He took the settler's rifle and shot and killed two terrorists in a clear act of self-defence.

In response, Israeli soldiers murdered him and three of his family members. Israeli government and media portrays him as the terrorist, and the actual terrorists as the victims.

Don't let them push this narrative. Farouk had the full legal and moral right to resist against the genocidal terrorists who invaded his land.

@Achamsedine 💔💔 The monstrosity of these acts is unspeakable. Criminals!

Yemenis face catastrophe as the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab become the focus of the U.S. and Iran's regional war. With a new equation defining Yemen's geopolitical situation, the country sits on the precipice, writes @Afrahnasser in @DAWN_Journal.

Egypt's World Cup run was not just historic. Its end highlighted the injustice that has long plagued sports and international relations alike, writes Yara Bataineh in @DAWN_Journal. Yet it did something else: It reminded a region that it too can dream.

If you wonder why 6 Democrats voted with the Republicans for the NDAA, which includes a merging of the US and Israeli militaries, maybe this helps explain.

Zohran Mamdani: “A lot of what we’ve come to accept as the facts of life across our country is driven by democratic socialist principles. If today you and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today and yet that’s the library. And the same thing with the fire department and the same thing with public schools”

הפשיטה של המתנחלים על הכפר ג׳אלוד היא מטורפת. עוד יותר מטורף זה שזה נעשה בשמירה הדוקה של הצבא. טרור. טרור מתנחלי וטרור צבאי. חייבים לסיים את הכיבוש עכשיו ולחתור לשלום ישראלי-פלסטיני שיביא ביטחון לכולנו.

Leading candidates in Israel's Oct. 27 elections suggest "Israel’s global standing has fallen because it has not managed to sell the genocide more artfully," ignoring the brazen actions that are the cause, writes DAWN  Fellow @dianabuttu in @DAWN_Journal. https://t.co/k8899GSn3B

[Wafa Faith Hallam @WafaWithFaith]

With Israel's elections set for Oct. 27, the issue "is not whether Israel’s policies will change but rather which war advocate, which Palestinian hater, wins on the most outrageous warmongering and genocidal platform," writes @Dianabuttu in @DAWN_Journal.

@RepThomasMassie @Escher911 The Dems who votes Yes are an interesting bunch.

[Wafa Faith Hallam @WafaWithFaith]

Always coming just short of what the people want and demand! Neither party is working for the American people. Both parties have the same master. MAGA is the biggest minion, but the Dems are still mostly just pretending and gaslighting us.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Final vote total for the NDAA today which tragically merges our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s. Let’s hope this version fails in the Senate because Section 219 is a betrayal of our sovereignty.
